Docker + Windows + Prometheus : How/Where to supply the configuration files

Was able to make it work in windows env.

For running prometheus with docker in the same network:

Check this: https://docs.docker.com/config/thirdparty/prometheus/

Steps:

• List item

  • Click the Docker icon in the toolbar, select Preferences, then select Daemon. Click Advanced."metrics-addr" : "127.0.0.1:9323", "experimental" : true

  • restart docker

  • create C:\tmp\prometheus.yml [As per your choice]
  • under targets --> targets: ['docker.for.win.localhost:8001']
  • docker run --name container-name --network=network-name --mount type=bind,source=C:/tmp/prometheus.yml,destination=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --publish published=9090,target=9090,protocol=tcp prom/prometheus
  • URL: localhost:9090

Hope this helps.Have created a sample working project: https://github.com/mayank1989gupta/GradleAutoDeployYou can find more details related to the same.

That tutorial from DO is outdated. Basically, tho related things were changed in Prometheus since v2.0:

• new CLI options format: double dash for long options, like --config.file
• options storage.local.* (and some others) were removed

Correct command would be:

docker run -d -p 9090:9090 -v c:\Docker\prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --name=prometheus prom/prometheus --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

Change the command to:

docker run -d -p 9090:9090 -v c:\Docker\prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --name=prometheus prom/prometheus --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml -storage.local.path=/prometheus -storage.local.memory-chunks=10000

You just need to make -config to --config by adding a - before -config.

It worked for me.
